Naomi Carter believes in God. Happy endings are another matter.
As a successful divorce attorney, Naomi spends her days watching people divide homes, holidays, bank accounts, and lives they once promised would never come apart. Eleven years of seeing love at its worst has taught her something she considers useful:
Hope is easier when you don't examine the evidence.
Her mother, naturally, disagrees.
That is how Naomi ends up reluctantly joining Forty Days, a church program built around one strange idea: pair two people anonymously and ask them to pray for each other every day.
No names. No pictures. No chatting. No fixing.
Just prayer.
Naomi expects forty days of vague church language and polite requests about stressful weeks.
Instead, she gets D.
D asks uncomfortable questions. D seems to understand exactly where Naomi hides. And D's prayers have an irritating habit of finding the things she would rather leave alone.
Meanwhile, Daniel Brooks is becoming a problem of an entirely different kind.
Daniel is a family mediator, relentlessly helpful, maddeningly optimistic, and far too good at remembering Naomi's coffee order. They have spent years disagreeing about relationships professionally. Now work meetings turn into tacos. Arguments turn into conversations. And Naomi begins wondering whether the man who believes broken families can still become something good might know something she doesn't.
The trouble is, trusting God from a safe distance is one thing.
Trusting another person is considerably more dangerous.
And when honesty, privacy, forgiveness, and love begin colliding, Naomi will have to decide whether faith means believing nothing will go wrong-or finding the courage to stay open even when something does.
Funny, romantic, thoughtful, and grounded in people who do not suddenly become perfect because they prayed about it, The Trouble With Amen is a contemporary Christian romance about second chances, difficult forgiveness, imperfect faith, and learning that amen does not always mean the story is over.
